Score Wan 19 to 6 Against the Stam- ford Manor Eleven. Wm High won its game with Stamford Manor, on Wednesday, by the score of 19 to 6. With the score 6 to 0 against them, our boys started an uphill fight, making the score 6 to 6 at the end of the half. The third and fourth periods each added one score and swelled the total to 7. Stamford Manor did not threaten the Norwalk goal line once after the 1st period. Our first touchdown resulted from a splen~ didly executed forward pass—McMa- hon to R. Smith. The second and third touchdowns were scored by Capt. Stur- devout. The whole Norwalk team played a splendid game, while the work of Craig and Downing for Stam- ford Manor deserves credit.
